Multiple Accounts on vibrant

I have to emails one is my school g mail the other my personal gmail. I used to have the school one forward messages to the other but that turned into a hassle. I was just wondering if there's anyway to easily switch from one email to the other. Like if there was a widget or something.
Thanks!

I guess you can use the gmail client for one account and configure the email client to get mails from other gmail account. I use both gmail(thru gmail client) and yahoo mail using the email client. Also I see options in email client to configure more than one account, but haven't tried it. I do not want a combined inbox for more than one account as it will be kinda messy. But you can explore that option too.

Settings - accounts and sync -- add account -- Google account

I know how to do this that isn't the problem. My problem is when I get an email I don't automatically which email I'm getting it too. I have to choose the account. I just wish there was a way to separate it right off the bat. Instead of having to go through settings-accounts-email 1/email 2.
Maybe its just wish full thinking.

Yeah, sorry but there's no way to do that. I think there was on 2.2 when I had a Nexus One but I can't remember. Or you could try Gmail Pop Up on the market.

I'll see what I can find then let you guys know.

I people disappoint me...
Google app for main account.
Exchange ActiveSync for the second google account.
Google "Google Sync"
Vibrant can manage multiple exchange accounts, so it will work even if you have another exchange account set up.
HTH!

Search the market for gmail unread count. Its a widget you can add to your desktop that looks like an icon for gmail and will show the number of emails you have unread for any and ever gmail account set up on your phone. Its very stable and quite customizeable. I have a diff color icon for each of my 3 accounts and it makes keeping track of unread mails and accessing the specific account I want very very easy.

Im not sure if this is what you want. But I also have two gmail accounts, and one quick way for me to go into the right Inbox, is I created a shortcut for each Inbox, using the Gmail Label shortcut, when you create the shortcut, it will ask you which account you would like to use. Then you can rename the shortcut for each inbox to whatever you want, then from the Home screen just click on whatever Inbox. I hope that helps.

Anyone have problems setting up a second Google Account? I've been trying for a few days and keep getting a "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" error. I've tried both on WiFi and 3G, in different locations( home, at work, out and about), and still can get my second account linked. I did some digging the settings and found the multiple sign in options, turned all that on, and am able to sign in to both account on the web, but still not on my phone.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Same issue. I was able to do this at one point but after JI6 bricking my phone and getting it back with ODIN I have never been able to add multiple accounts. Hopefully someone here has an answer.

Does anyone know how to set up a school account on gmail (my university uses the gmail interface but has its own log in portal). I cant seem to log in through gmail.com (on the phone and desktop browser)

Gmail account sync problems

it works very well on my phone..

or try to flash the rom again ?

Have you tried deleting your Google account from the Sync menu, rebooting, re-adding it ?
Or full-wipe ?

Are u facing it after an update to Gingerbread?

No I have not gingerbread and i will try to erase the account and re-add it... do i have to do a complete reboot or fast reboot?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I would go with normal reboot (ref : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot), I don't think fastboot has to do with that - but I'm no expert, I could be wrong. Plus I didn't said this would undoubtedly fix your issue, but it's worth trying.

Deleting the account doesn't work. I can't delete it unless I go to factory settings...and that ain't worth it.

As a test I borrowed an iphone 4 off a colleague...setup his gmail using activesync m.google.com and guess what....He also gets authentication error. Syncs ok and then stops working. Works then stops working randomly.
I strongly believe this an issue with gmail side. But googling around I can't anything on other websites/forums about it.

In CM7 if you try too setup yahoo mail it gets (user name/password incorrect) but gingersence is fine. w i e r d

Unwanted sync
I have the opposite problem, and would appreciate some help.
I have Gingergread (Alien) on my Atrix 4g and when I set up my tree gmail accunts (one carries contacts, calendar and mail), the other two just mail.
When I did the set up , I had the chance to select which service does each account provide (of the three).
Now I just went and checked and the THREE accounts are doing sync for the three services.
Why could this happened, A gingerbread problem, an Alien Rom problem on wth,
I have deleted the accounts, except for the one linked to the phone account (which I cannot delete) and when I set them up again, I have no chance to select what type of sync I want,,, the three services are being synced for the three accounts.
Any idea?

SGT will not sync gmail

Title says it all. I have tried everything I have found in this forum with no luck. Basic problem is I have to click refresh in gmail to recieve my email. I am not rooted and my htc evo and desktop all work flawlessly and notify me about new emails. Any ideas would be helpful.

Go to settings / accounts and sync / and verify you dont have any red icons on the gmail account. If you do there are normally error why. You can also ensure you have mail checked to synchronize as well as contacts.
That is the first step that comes to mind. If you have not already, delete amd readd the acct. You will want to play close attention when setting back up the settings on each setup page. You may have set sync frequency to manual or something.

I have deleted the account and deleted the data from the gmail app under manage applications. I have checked and unchecked the sync setting many times. Each time I re check the gmail sync it syncs fine and if I have a new email it will notify me but after that if I get an email I get no notification on my SGT unless I click refresh in the app or uncheck then re check sync.

What are your notification settings in the gmail account application?

Notify in system bar when email arrives

Do you have any other Android devices? If so, do they sync correctly?
Do you have any type of authentication set in gmail?
Have you tried a factory reset?
Are you using the gmail app and not the email app?
Do Google Talk notifications work correctly?
Sorry if some of these questions sound dumb, but better to cover all bases before moving on.

Awe good point.... I think he is using the email app vs the gmail app. I dont think the notification option mentioned is available in the gmail app.

Trust me they are not dumb questions I did tech support for a few years... It is just sad when you have to ask "Is the computer plugged into the wall socket?" Anyway yes I have an HTC EVO the gets the IMAP push just fine as does my desktop running Chrome. I have just a regular single password set up for gmail. I have not done a factory reset yet. I am using the gmail app. I dont use google talk but google voice notification work. The voice notifications are not IMAP but set on a timer ever 15 minutes however.

I had this same problem and tried everything toto make it work. I never got it fixed, so I did a factory reset and it works fine now.

Thats what I am thinking of trying. Wish it could be simpler though. :\
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App

I think i had this once.... But a delete and readd fixed it. Do you have your gmail setup to backup your apps and bookmarks to chrome? You can also use mybackup pro to backup other on device media and OS settings. =)

Just tried a factory reset and the problem remains. Could my router be blocking the push. Chrome gets the push fine on the same router I use the extension "Google Mail Checker" I am out of Ideas.

Try restarting your router just in case.
I don't know if this applies to your issue? http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Mobile/thread?tid=3a06c995ce0f82ae&hl=en

Yep that is the same problem I am having. That page was my first try for a fix before posting. I went through all of those steps and it didnt resolve the issue thats when I posted here. I am begining to think I am just out of luck.

Completely disabled firewall on my router and boom it works. WOOT! Do you know what port # IMAP could be using different than what chrome is using.

Re enabled firewall still working. Beats me. :-|

Very odd. Would think a router would come out of the box ready to support email protocols.

yahoo mail

Looks like yahoo mail and ymail was screwing up and not allowing logging in to check mail. anyone else have this issue?

Only issue I have had is that it does not always tell me I have an email. I have a few times been kicked out of it and then when I logged in on my PC had a message saying that my account may have been compromised. After changing the password I was able to get back in on my phone. After all that the app never seems to update and tell me I have an email. When it does I find I have about 10 of them. This is with no settings changed.

I can't log into mobile website but u can log into phone app email

Exchange to battery consumer

Hello everyone,
I connect to gmail using Samsung Email client (using exchange, not imap or pop). While it's pushing email to me, it always give this message of connection error whenever I open Email. And when I checked what could be consuming my battery so fast, I found exchange being on top.
Anyone is experiencing this or have any idea?
Cheers
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA App

Do you know what version of Exchange Server you're connecting to? Older versions of Exchange had annoying issues with ActiveSync on the Galaxy Tabs, and I always had to delete and re-add the Device Administrators policy to get it to work...

It's google exchange server. I'm not sure what's the version. I never had this problem in my classic tab.

Sorry about that. I forgot you were connecting to GMail.
What error are you getting when you try to sync?
